On Ubuntu, it's really easy, but you have to know that you need the
"alternate" install disk that uses the debian installer.  Then it's just
a choice in the install.  All of my machines are set up this way.

For screen capture, there's gtk-recordMyDesktop.  It's a steaming pile
of crap.  Don't use it.  I haven't found anything better.  For video
editing, Ubuntu comes pre-installed with PiTiVi, which isn't too bad. 
It's not great, but it's not terrible either.

Cheers,
